Can Seamer Manuals

We maintain one of the largest private collections of canning machine manuals in existence. We offer copies for a nominal service fee. The knowledge of how to run, maintain, and repair these machines shouldn't disappear — it should be passed down to the people still using them.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

Can I change the speed of my seamer?
Yes. Can seamers are rated for a range of speeds within a certain class. Changes can be made using a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) or by changing the sheaves on the motor. Once you top out the machine’s maximum rating, it’s time to start shopping for another one.
What’s the difference between “Rebuild” and “Good Running Condition”?
Our rebuilds are complete machine overhauls — shop-tested for your inspection and sold with warranty. Good Running Condition machines have been shop-run to verify they operate as expected, but haven’t undergone a full teardown and rebuild.
Do you do on-site service?
Yes. We offer on-site repair, seaming height adjustments, diameter changes, and general troubleshooting. Call us to schedule.
What voltage do your rebuilt machines run on?
Rebuilds get a brand new motor configured for 3-phase 230V or 460V depending on your needs.
